Mavericks vs Pacers Preview and Injury Update: Sunday afternoon basketball
The Dallas Mavericks (19-36) visit the Indiana Pacers (15-42) for a very strangely timed Sunday afternoon game.

The Dallas Mavericks and their star point guard Kyrie Irving recently made it official – Irving would be out for the remainder of the season, looking for a fresh start in 2026-2027.

The Dallas Mavericks (19-35) start off the post-NBA All-Star push on the road Friday night, this time matching up against the Minnesota Timberwolves (34-22).

MMBets Game of the Week: basketball is back as Dallas faces Minnesota
The Mavericks are back in action after the All-Star break. They are in Minnesota, where they will play the Timberwolves without Cooper Flagg. The Wolves have dominated Dallas this season, winning each of their first two matchups by 24 and 13 points, respectively. Dallas is in active tank mode, and Minnesota is just a game […]
A renewed plea for a Dallas Mavericks rebrand
The Dallas Mavericks fully leaned into a new era for the organization this season after hearing the calls from MFFLs everywhere — first, by firing general manager Nico Harrison; and next, severing ties to the major connection to the Luka Doncic trade by moving Anthony Davis. The trade deadline reset the books for the future […]

Mikel Brown Jr. is entering the picture for PG1 in the 2026 NBA Draft
Mikel Brown Jr. had become somewhat of a polarizing NBA Draft prospect throughout the 2025-26 college basketball season. Regarded as an elite shooter prior to his arrival at Louisville, Brown Jr. had been anything but that. Prior to last week, Brown Jr. was hovering at around 30% from three point range, while shooting under 40% […]
An update on Kyrie’s return is coming, but we may already have an answer
The Dallas Mavericks are currently in the midst of their longest losing streak since before the calendar turned over to a new century. Having dropped nine straight games entering the All-Star break, Dallas is currently much better positioned for a high draft pick than they are for a Play In bid, and it’s becoming increasingly […]

NBA Power Rankings Watch: a new Mavericks era
The Dallas Mavericks, now post trade deadline and resting over the all-star break, are fully in a new era. Yes, parts of the Luka Doncic core remain. But the Anthony Davis deadline deal that sent the big man and the end of the bench to the Washington Wizards made clear that the front office is […]

3 things from the Mavericks’ 124-104 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 124-104 on Thursday at Crypto.com Arena behind a vintage effort from LeBron James.
